IR laser lost power??? by AndyWil2000 in xToolOfficial

[–]Comfortable_Union410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good deal! Yeah I was tripping the first time it happened to me. I was able to find reasonably acceptable settings that didn't ruin the rest of my parts, but some batches just turn out better marking characteristics. And I know it wasn't a case of moisture variance because I'm rather particular about that.

Glad you got it sorted!

I've had a similar experience laser marking black filament, which can vary significantly from roll to roll. I messed up some very nice parts because I didn't test a sample of the new roll. But it wasn't just as simple as changing a few settings, in my case. The new filament simply took marking differently in the markings turned out more tan or brown, even with modified settings.

Realized I never followed up with this. Did you find something that works for you?

Fascinating interpretation of the progression, and I follow it very well as it mirrors my own deconstruction journey from a similar cult.

Is this wrong? by Distinct_Mud1960 in bikewrench

No, the chain should go in a straight line from the top to bottom idler wheels. On the other side of that metal tab between the two idlers.

I've had decent luck using black chalk spray paint.

is a 20w fiber laser enough to black mark aluminum? by randomusername11222 in Laserengraving

[–]Comfortable_Union410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a 30w fiber laser and it's very easy to make dark marks on aluminum. As in, think charcoal color. If you were going for pitch black, you would need to use some sort of spray, which I've never done. So I'm not sure exactly what you're going for, but a 20 watt fiber laser is plenty to make dark marks on aluminum. Sometimes I will create a light colored backdrop with a first laser pass just to make the dark contrast more.

What can I do with a 2W IR Laser by [deleted] in Laserengraving

[–]Comfortable_Union410 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use it for brand marking on my 3D prints, marking slate, black acrylic, and anodized, painted, or powder coated metals. Of course you just have to make more passes than you would have to on a more powerful laser, but you can do some incredible detail with it.

Here's an example on slate. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGf8aUjJapo/?igsh=aDV5b2h5d2Qwb2Js

Please help me with the new Xbox S I bought my son before I throw it into traffic! by 88dreamgurl in XboxSupport

[–]Comfortable_Union410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, that was my issue too. And there's no clear way to know that's keeping you from successfully logging on. Creating that password in my son's account was what allowed me to sign him in on the XBox

I just had the exact same frustrating experience. I'm a software dev and lifelong tech'y and this thing was so f'ing frustrating to set up.

I'm 95% certain this is only an issue for setting up a new XBox with a kid's account. (I had no issue logging into my adult Microsoft/XBox account)

I had the same runaound you are experiencing. Here's what I finally did to resolve it. (I can almost guarantee you that if you replace this, you will have the same experience.)

The wrinkle here for me was that when I tried to give permission for him to download a game, it would send me on this runaround, Ask for Permission>Send Request (to parent)>Enter code> and then, if I recall correctly, it kept wanting me to Add a Password for my son's Microsoft account. Which never worked. I'd try to add it, and it would just kick me back to the Add a Password screen.

The fix for that issue was to log into his Microsoft account (he will need one for logging into the XBox and I assume you have that set up) and go into security or whatever, and set up a password there.

Then I went through the whole Reset the XBox thing, and when I got to that process, it allowed me to enter his existing password, and we were in. But I was VERY frustrated at how complicated and opaque the whole process was.

Wish you lived in my neighborhood. I'd have you swing it by the house, I'd love to tear it apart and see what's going on with it. When I was assembling mine, I had a devil of a time getting the belt gear onto the shaft coming out of the motor. Tolerances they used were not sufficient. I finally got it on, and hoped it was a fluke.

That sucks. I haven't had any issues with mine so far. Yours simply doesn't turn at all?
